Insincerity

[Sutter'sBeard]

I believe it's my least favorite verbal human trait. The Woody Paige & Rev. Wright threads got me thinking about this. I absolutely can't stand someone who says things they don't even believe to get attention, make a point, or support their cause.

I consider myself a little on the left side of the political spectrum. Is it my bias or is it real that the pundits of the right (Limbaugh, Hannity, Colter, etc.) don't believe half of the stuff that comes out their own cake holes. I don't see this so much on the left. Probably why I am on the left. Tell me I'm wrong.

I don't think it's a Left - Right thing....it's an ego thing.

Seriously though, I don't think it makes any difference whether they believe what they are saying it or not.

Leroy, is ,most definitely, not a tool.

It does to me because I can see the lie in their face and it angers me.

I don't think that is what I was saying. I mean take Colter...she can't possibly believe all that she says. Problem is, she still says it.

I pretty much listen to what people say, and then try and find whether they are right or wrong.

What angers me is that they get their unthinking listeners to believe it. I heard over the weekend that around 40% of those polled still think Obama is Muslim! The only reason why that is out there is because these radio talk shows perpetuate it.


I mistook your original post to mean those who have posted in these threads who are making claims. Especially, some of the remarks I've read about Hillary in recent threads. Unfair, personal accusations based on feeling about the candidate, rather than fact or evidence of an issue or policy.
(Actually I guess those are perpetuated by these same conservatives.)

And they eat it up and quote it like the bible.
